Flash: Fading In and Fading Out

Make sure that you already have Created Motion Tween for the Symbol that you want to have fade in and fade out effect.

So, Select the key frame(along with symbol selected) where you want to start the fade in and go the properties window.

In properties window, under COLOR EFFECT catergory,  Set the Alpha from Style drop-down list and also set Alpha slider to 0% (zeor).  after setting Alpha slider to 0(zero), symbol will disappear.

Select the keyframe(along with symbol’s selected – as the symbol is not visible, you can select middle of the green transition) where you want to display full symbol,  and set the Alpha slider to 100%.

Color Effect Setting

select the keyframe(last keyframe along with symbol selected) where you want the symbol to fadeout and set the Alpha slider to 0%

_pathDestination = fbd.SelectedPath

End If

CTRL+M CTRL+O – Collapse all regions not recursively
